When I was in my 20s, I had a gf who once asked me whether I was aware of the extent to which I was preoccupied with my own death... so, just imagine me 40 years later!
Therefore, when I size up a project, it is often from a standpoint of, "By how many decades will this outlive me?"
The garden shed had an awful pressure-treated pine ramp, and the low end was literally stuck in the mud.
So, I paid (I am not joking) a RISD-trained furniture designer to make a ramp out of solid, legally-obtained Brazilian Walnut, and I dug a 12 x 12 x 39 inch drainage trench, and did the whole landscape fabric and drainage rock thing.
That ramp gives me pleasure every time I see it!
So, just imagine how I approach loudspeaker cabinets!

PS: I told him I would pay for Blind Dowels, but he made a face as though I really needed professional help. So, the stainless screws are countersunk and have plugs cut from scrap lumber glued in. I have a spare plank; one day I should test to see if it floats or sinks.
The relevance: that was $400 in lumber then; I can only imagine what it would cost today.
